So you have installed the Flash plugin from Adobe on a 64bit Ubuntu… You try to watch youtube, but you can never pause, because the buttons are unresponsive.

Try this… worked for me!

Open a terminal and copy and paste this:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Give your password and a editor pops up. Direct after #!/bin/sh press enter for a new line and copy paste this:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

The complete file looks now something like this:

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
TARGET_OS=linux
TARGET_ARCH=i386
. /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer

Save and close the editor. Restart your Firefox and enjoy your coffee break while watching Youtube videos.
